I like Ahlul-Bayt because
it has rules. It has a prayer room and we learn more
about our culture. We have more than one teacher. We
have an Islamic Studies teacher, Arabic Teacher and
French teacher. (Ghenwa ElHajj Hassan)

I like the people here, especially the teachers.
I like the way they teach us. The class size is small
and teachers can really focus in on us. It's a very
comfortable environment. You feel like you're in the
right place. (Jinan Zeitoun)
